INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FOR HEALTHCARE

Information technology has become an essential part of our everyday lives, and with that, an essential part of healthcare. Both databased solutions and artificial intelligence now play a significant role in medicine. The thorough analysis of data allows for the establishment of more accurate medical diagnoses while the application of modern technologies may improve the effectiveness of healing and shorten the patient pathway, helping the patient to recover more quickly. The National eHealth Infrastructure (EESZT) was established with the support of the Ministry of Human Capacities. The National eHealth Infrastructure (abbreviated EESZT) is a communication interface using cloud-based technologies that connects health care providers (family doctor care and inpatient and outpatient services), pharmacies and the general population of all of Hungary. Sharing patient data may help establish more accurate diagnostics and more precisely targeted therapy. The system also helps avoid repeating unnecessary examinations which greatly contributes to, in addition to enhanced patient comfort and faster curing processes, a more cost-effective operation of the healthcare system.
